SetMemoryMax bug?

[tin3tin]

For a long periode of time I have experienced troubles with Media Player Classic not shutting down properly. After closing it, the interface shuts down, but mplayerc.exe still runs in the background and I'll have to kill it with ctrl+alt+del.

Now I have taken the SetMemoryMax function out of my script and it seems that MPC now closes down in the right way. So I suspect that there might be some kind of bug with the SetMemoryMax() function?

Could you post the whole script?

Was in the avs script DVD slideshow GUI generates(now I've taken it out).

DVD slideshow GUI saves the slideshow as a avs file and that is processed by QuEnc or MPC. (Or you can choose to save as avs from DVDsGUI)

MPC did hang when large slideshows was previewed when the setmemorymax function was used - I hope it doesn't do that anymore.

I'm still having the same problem af Media Player Classic running in the memory after it has been closed.

So it has nothing to do with SetMemoryMax().

Sorry!

It is more likely that problem is connected to this description from the avisynth doc's:

Some problems encoding .avs video with Windows Media Encoder 9. The problem is that the "wmeenc.exe" process doesn't shut down properly. The encoder program closes, but an instance of "wmeenc.exe" remains in Task Manager hogging a LOT of memory.

Does anyone know what the staus on this is?

DVD slideshow GUI gererates huge scripts with a lot of imported functions, so you will not be able to run it without installing the the program.

And this problem normally happens with previewing very large slideshows (100+ images).

Anyway have a look(only for 2 slides):

DVDsGUIoutput.avs (http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/DVDsGUIoutput.avs)

(It might work if you corrected the paths for plugins and images)

loadplugin("C:\Programmer\DVD slideshow GUI\bin\DirectShowSource.dll" )What is this? (Version? Where from? etc?)

loadplugin("C:\Programmer\DVD slideshow GUI\bin\vsfilter.dll" )
Older builds of VSFilter have exactly the problem you describe i.e. instead of shutting down they chew up 100% of the cpu time and the process has to be killed with task manager.

@ IanB - I guess that it isn't needed - thanks for the notice.

@ squid_80 Is this (http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/Media%20Player%20Classic/external%20filters/unicode/) the latest version?

It has the same version number - but is slightly bigger than my old vsfilter.dll - and so far it seems to shut down properly.

Btw. I really need to clean up those DVDsGUI generated avs files. :rolleyes:

Thanks folks!
